Blueberry Sausage Casserole ⋆ Kudos Kitchen by Renée

If you love pancakes with a side of sausage, do I have a wonderful recipe for you!

This casserole tastes just like a big stack of pancakes and makes a terrific weekend breakfast or weeknight dinner. I don’t know of anyone that doesn’t enjoy breakfast for dinner and it makes any random weeknight a little bit special. This casserole is sweet, savory and comforting all at the same time.

If you do choose to have this casserole as a breakfast for dinner meal, might I suggest you and your family put on your most comfy PJ’s (no matter the time) in order to indulge in this casserole and relax after a long, hard day… Go on, you know you want to 🙂

I adapted this recipe slightly from the cookbook: “At My Grandmother’s Table” by Faye Porter and chose not to make her blueberry sauce to top off the casserole but instead used maple syrup. To me the maple syrup lends more to the pancake flavor of this dish.

If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you’ll notice that, over the past few months, I’ve been trying to creatively incorporate my painted glassware and tiles into my food posts in order to introduce you to my work. This recipe for Blueberry Sausage Casserole had me remember back to a set of custom coffee mugs I did for a customer a couple of years ago. The client specifically asked me to add blueberry bushes to the design so naturally I think they’re a good fit here (and, awfully cute if I do say so myself)! LOL
